Albert Cheng 06c8da20b1 [svn-r1621] Added GASS driver. Coded by Saurabh Bagchi, bagchi@uiuc.edu.
Minor changes done to test/gass_xxx.c so that they print the
test skip message when GASS driver is not available.

This change is the implementation of GASS within HDF5-1.3 (HDF5 with Virtual
File Layer). The GASS driver gives the facility of accessing HDF files on
remote ftp servers. To use the GASS driver, the option --with-gass=<GASS path>
shoud be specified with configure. An example of the command line used to
test the distribution was:
./configure --disable-shared --without-hdf4
--with-gass=/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/include,/afs/ncsa/projects/hdf/v5/bagchi/globus/GLB/development/sparc-sun-solaris2.6_nothreads_standard_debug/lib
--disable-parallel

The user should change the path to point to his local GASS installation.

Documentation about the features of GASS and the HDF-GASS design is available
separately and till it is put up on the official web site, anyone interested
may contact me.

Test programs to read, write or append remote files have been provided in the
test directory as "gass_read.c", "gass_write.c", "gass_append.c". The test
programs have the ftp site to access #define-d at the top of the file which
the user can change accordingly.

Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library.  The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library.  The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.

Documentation for this release is in the html directory.  Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.

Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.

   hdf5         - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
		  other users.

   hdf5dev      - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
		  with developers and other interested parties.

   hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
		  not a discussion list.

   hdf5cvs      - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
		  not a discussion list.

To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5 

Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".

Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
    ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.

The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/

Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
